Elsewhere in the Premiership the race for the top six is still very tight with four points between fourth and tenth. The biggest of the matches involving those seven teams comes from Easter Road where fifth-place Hibs host fourth-place Dundee United.

Ross County welcome Hearts, who are out in third, to Dingwall and Motherwell take on St Mirren.

The other two fixtures will have ramifications for the top six and the bottom. Dundee, four points adrift, host Aberdeen, while St Johnstone take on a Livingston side looking to cement their place in the top half.

In The Scotsman Football Show, deputy sports editor Matt Elder discusses the weekend’s action with specialist football writers Andrew Smith and Joel Sked. As well as previewing the games, the trip also look at Rangers’ decision to pull out of the Sydney Super Cup which was confirmed on Thursday.
